Default I'm confused.

I have read the tread again and I can't find anything that disrespects any tourists. Have I missed something?

Someone said, "Give them a break, impatient tourists." I get tired of that after spending a small fortune there every summer and when I get my tax bills. That's all.

I guess I am sensitive since I fill many bashed categories - lawyer, born in Massachusetts, live in NJ and only visit NH. It's tough being me.

I was born and raised in NJ and lived there my entire life until moving here 10 years ago. Believe me, life here is very different than in NJ. You turn into a kinder, gentler person living in this kinder, gentler community.

For those of us who live here year round, our lives get more complicated in the summer with the explosion of our population for three months. We know the local merchants need that infusion of revenue and certainly support tourism to our town. Although the majority of the tourists seem to be enchanted by our friendly and very civil community and behave the same way in return, in recent years I've witnessed more frequent rude behavior around town in shops, the market, restaurants, in cars from tourists. That kind of tourist we can do wit out.

Default We Like WolfeCity Pizza, but...

We have frequented wolfecity pizza, but on weekdays, and really enjoyed the pizza and service.
That being said, we tend to avoid some of our favorite places during busy summer weekends, unless we have reservations. We have been to a few of our favorites and have noticed some seem to be shorthanded waitstaff. I still see "help wanteds" in the papers for many hotels and restaurants, even though summer is well under way. Too bad.
And I don't think tourists have the monopoly on bad behavior. Unfortunately, I know a few locals who can be just as nasty.
